Camp Josh receives food plot funding

ONTONAGON — The state of Michigan has awarded Camp Josh a grant under the Upper Peninsula Deer Habitat Improvement Partnership Initiative.

Under the partnership agreement, Camp Josh will construct a 3.4-acre food plot on the 40-acre parcel that it owns on the LP Walsh road in Ontonagon Township. The state will fund $4,876 and Camp Josh will fund $3,260 of the $8,136 project cost.

A very wet spring caused some delay in the initial clearing of the land, however, workers were able to get the tree stumps removed and bulldoze the site. The plot has three sections which are 150 feet by 400 feet.
